5 24 = x 144 24 5 ​ = 144 x ​   x = x=

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \[ \frac{5}{24} = \frac{144}{x} \] you can cross-multiply: \[ 5x = 24 \cdot 144 \] Now, calculate \( 24 \cdot 144 \): \[ 24 \cdot 144 = 3456 \] So the equation becomes: \[ 5x = 3456 \] Next, divide both sides by 5 to isolate \( x \): \[ x = \frac{3456}{5} \] Now calculate \( \frac{3456}{5} \): \[ x = 691.2 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ x = 691.2 \]
